Folder stuck in trash

  Date: Dec 18    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 464
  

I have a folder that doesn't seem to want to empty from the trash. I
select empty trash and it doesn't delete, I right click and select
delete from trash and it gives me an error that says folder not empty.
Though, it is empty, it doesn't even have any invisible folders in it.
Moving it into any other folder gives me an error as well. Any ideas on
how to get rid of it?

Best way I know of is to open a terminal window, go to
/home/[user]/.local/share/trash and delete everything in it.

$sudo rm -r *

Or, better way...

In /home/[user]/.local/share

$sudo rm -r trash

Either should world.
